Interesting fact
The Gold Hardi coin is a rare and valuable coin, and it's interesting to note that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Hundred Years' War between England and France. Despite the conflict, the coin still features the image of King Edward III of England, who also ruled over the Duchy of Aquitaine, highlighting the complex political and economic ties between the two nations during that time.
